Treadmills are known to be noisy. Normally, the noise will come from the feet and the motor. This being a concern among most buyers, it’s important to note the noise levels.

To cut down the noise levels, consider pairing the treadmill with a padded mat. This way, it won’t be a bother for those living in apartments.
